[QUOTE="Andy, post: 260939, member: 5096"] How is the "not explaining" going? That has to take strength to do. I also was an explainer and I gave my diva too many chances to do the right thing. I always expected her to choose the best way but alas, she was just a child and choose the child's way no matter how much I explained. Just like your child, she was very bright but just was not ready to understand the adult's way of seeing things. As with DDD, my diva could out explain me in her sleep. I was sure she would grow up to be a salesperson or politician or lawyer (the kind that can get the most guilty of guilty person off the hook). It would have been so much easier if I could have seen things the way she did. I wish I would have had the Manipulative Child book when she was a toddler. It helps show you ways to stop explaining. Any way, your daughter sounds lovely. You need to follow your mommy instinct on this. Keep looking for answers if you feel there is something to be found. Midwest's suggestion of a neuropsychologist would be a great place to start. Maybe have her tested for allergies as fairlyoddparent spoke about. We would love to hear some strategies that you are finding helpful. What are some frustrating times that you have found a way through? [/QUOTE]
